Best temporary hair dyes to try out while working from home

While lockdown has had its challenges, there are a few silver linings...

Spending all day in PJs, letting your rigorous body grooming schedule slip - and road-testing a new crazy hair colour. (Temporary dye of course).

Because working from home gives you the ultimate pass on corporate office decorum. And if it all goes wrong no one will ever see the dodgy aftermath.

Waitrose and John Lewis have already reported a huge surge in haircare sales as Brits take taming their locks into their own hands. The retail group has reported sales of hair dyes are up 149% year on year, with root touch-up products the most popular.  

But for the brave and bold, this is also a great time to indulge in some experimentation - check out some of our favourite temporary hair dye picks below.
